Live! is Catch 22's first full-length live release, although fan-recorded live tracks were bonus features on several previous albums. Roughly a third of the album is devoted to Keasbey Nights, another third to Alone in a Crowd, and the remainder to Dinosaur Sounds. A bonus DVD includes footage from the concert, as well as a variety of extras. However, former frontman Tomas Kalnoky is conspicuously absent from the footage of the band's early days.
Live is an album by The Dubliners recorded live at the Fiesta Club,Sheffield and released on the Polydor label in 1974. This was to be Ronnie Drew's last recording with The Dubliners for five years as he left to pursue a solo career. Also following this album, Ciarán Bourke ceased to be a full-time member of the group when he suffered a brain hemorrhage. He sings "All for Me Grog" here. The reels that open this album (and which first were released on the group's 1967 studio album A Drop of the Hard Stuff) have become the opening instrumental medley at most of their concerts since.

Live is Jake Shimabukuro's 2009 solo album. It was released in April 2009, and consists of live in-concert performances from various venues around the world, including New York, Chicago, Japan, and Hawaii.
Live peaked at number 5 in Billboard's Top World Music Albums in 2009 and 2010. The album won the 2010 Na Hoku Hanohano Award for Instrumental Album of the Year, and also garnered Shimabukuro the award for Favorite Entertainer of the Year. In addition, it won the 2010 Hawaii Music Award for Best Ukulele Album.
AllMusic noted that, "Shimabukuro is a monster musician and boldly takes the ukulele where no ukulele has ever gone before, dazzling listeners with his blinding speed, melodic invention, and open-ended improvisations of remarkable virtuosity. Before Shimabukuro, the idea of spending an evening listing to a solo ukulele player was probably most people's idea of hell, but the 17 solo efforts here never bore. They show Shimabukuro's range and his humor as well."
"'Life (Diamonds in the Dark)" is a song by Swedish DJ and producer John Dahlbäck featuring Swedish recording artist Agnes. Dahlbäck originally released the instrumental version of the song called "Life" in February 2012, but later got Swedish singer Agnes to sing the vocals on the re-release. In an interview with American magazine "Billboard" Dahlbäck commented on the co-operation with Agnes; "“She’s one of the biggest pop stars in Sweden, so for me it was a big honor to have her on the track. This may not be what she’d do normally, but she’s very happy with the result.”
The song is released together with three remixes that will accompany the February 25 release. Dahlback selected remixes from Australian upstarts Feenixpawl, fellow Swedish DJs Lunde Bros., and Canadian electro-house artist Lazy Rich.

Life is the third studio album by funk/soul band Sly and the Family Stone, released in September 1968 on Epic/CBS Records.
Unlike its predecessor, Dance to the Music, Life was not a commercial success, although it has received mostly positive reviews from music critics over the years. Many of its songs, including "M'Lady", "Fun", "Love City", as well as the title track, became popular staples in the Family Stone's live show. A middle ground between the fiery A Whole New Thing and the more commercial Dance to the Music, Life features very little use of studio effects, and is instead more driven by frontman Sly Stone's compositions. Topics for the album's songs include the dating scene ("Dynamite!", "Chicken", "M'Lady"), groupies ("Jane is a Groupee"), and "plastic" (or "fake") people (the Beatlesque "Plastic Jim"). Of particular note is that the Family Stone's main themes of unity and integration are explored here in several songs ("Fun", "Harmony", "Life", and "Love City"). The next Family Stone LP, Stand!, would focus almost exclusively on these topics.
Ludwig & Mayer was a German type foundry in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. Many important designers worked for the Ludwig and Mayer type foundry, including Heinrich Jost, Karlgeorg Hoefer, Helmut Matheis, and most notably Jakob Erbar, whose Erbar Book was one of the first geometric sans-serif typefaces, predating both Paul Renner's Futura and Rudolf Koch's Kabel by some five years. Starting in 1925, Ludwig & Mayer types were distributed in the United States by Continental Type Founders Association. When the foundry ceased operations in 1984, rights to the typefaces was transmitted to the Neufville Foundry.
These foundry types were produced by Ludwig & Mayer:

So it's like Monday, yeah 10 AM, and I'm
Realizing I'm about to do this all again
Get out of bed, grab my books and a pen
Headed to astrology, leaving Earth on the rag
49 cent Jimmy John's bread
Allowing me to save my money just to party instead
Yeah Bacardi and bread, Rhino already dead
A Wednesday night we do it right, wake up and do it again
Uh, I make my ass go to class, strolling on the grass
Backpack strapped, always passing back facts on the napkins
Tilt it down, flat-brim
Getting every answer right up on the section of the matching
After class, pop the Mac and find a chill spot
To pack Vesuvius, so I'm fluent on the track
Then I hit the sack, hearing jazz like the Rat Pack
Dreams of hi-hats and rata-tat-tats
Like that, yeah, I like that, add scratchin' and action
Some music I can snap at
Saying peace to the weak, hearing beats in my sleep
Feet tappin' up and down, yes I catch a couple z's
[Hook] (x2)
(Yeah, that's the way we live life)
Livin' life, livin' life, living mine
(Yeah, that's the way we live life)
Livin' life, livin' life, like I shine
(Yeah, that's the way we live life)
Livin' life, livin' life, livin' life
(Yeah, that's the way we live life)
Livin' life, livin' life, livin' life
[Hook] (x2)
Na na na na (Uh)
Na na na na na na (I like this)
Na na na na na na (I like that)
Na na na na na na (A-bring it back, bring it back)
[Verse 2: Matt Easton]
Friday around 10 PM, and I'm
Realizing we're about to do this all again
So I, throw down a 5 before the Friday flies by
Bout to buy a couple bottles, pre-gaming with just the guys (no homo)
Or getting high, taking my time looking fly
With the fly tie, bout to fly by, sittin' a mile high
Bringing style to the skyline, all the time
Here comes the weekend, filled with lots of drinkin'
From experience, this is where my level weakens
Plus on top of that, add a whole bunch of cheifin'
Mixin' chemicals, chemistry is what we're teachin'
Featuring 1138, all season
Posted up deep, digging the ladies sitting next to us
Right of us, left of us, I be ambidextrous
When I step in the room, panties hit the ground
I guess when I dress up, all the ladies dress down
Even with the same pristine routine, I find myself exploring
A-wa-a-weaving outta dreams, and even though
I do the same damn things it's the people making the pattern
Making it worth standing
[Hook] (x2)
